Debian (http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Debian) is a universal operating system used on many other embedded devices, and also on home computers. Using Debian on the FreeRunner gives access to the Huge army of software packaged in the Debian repositories, already compiled for the Neo's arm(v4) processor. Moreover, one can build one's own source files for programs without having to learn the OpenEmbedded way. For an existing Debian/Ubuntu user, choosing Debian for Neo FreeRunner makes phone a very familiar, trustworthy and flexible place to hack in.

Each of the above has varying reasons they are not yet uploaded to official Debian archives. Literki included a version of png++ in its sources, and png++ has now been separated and literki will soon follow it to official Debian archives. The future of woosh browser is a bit uncertain, so it's waiting a bit eg. for a better replacement. Finally, libdrm-glamo is naturally waiting for the eventual inclusion of Glamo code in an upstream release, together with the hopeful integration of all Glamo code in upstream (Torvalds') Linux kernel.

Pisi is an application for synchronizing PIM data.
Fixes for bugs from the mailing list have made it into the release. Major feature is syncml support; however, on my SHR-T this still causes seg faults due to problems with a libxml library.

”My Debian” is Timo Jyrinki's little project to help newcomers to Debian on FreeRunner to enhance their Debian experience and learn more about available software and configuration options. More on his home page at http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/User:TimoJyrinki

QtMoko, a Debian derivative with Qt Extended Improved manually laid on top of it, has had its FAQ (http://qtmoko.org/wiki/FAQ) started by Risto H. Kurppa. QtMoko is developed by Radek Polak.
